CREDITS

Where vision, collaboration and storytelling come together.

My background is in sales & distribution. Through Kinowelt and Crescendo Films I released New Line Cinema titles in Eastern Europe. Our biggest releases were Rush Hour 3 and Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me.

To focus more on producing, I set up Red Pictures Media in London, as an independent production company to develop feature length screenplays. My first feature film as a producer and co-writer was Are You Ready For Love?, a romantic comedy produced at Carnaby Films and distributed in England by Sony Pictures Classics. The film received five awards at the prestigious Monaco Film Festival in 2006, including Best Screenplay and it reached Top 10 in the UK DVD market.

At Carnaby, I also produced Dolphins (released in the US under Octane by Lionsgate) a fast-paced high octane film, co-produced the psychological thriller Daddy’s Girl (released in the US as Cravings by Grindhouse Entertainment) and was the Assistant Producer on The Last Drop (released in the UK by Sony Pictures Classics).

Inspired by the incredible training in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) with Richard Bandler, I decided to pursue a directing career. Road to Damascus, a short film with a nonlinear storyline about the racial judgements we encounter in our lives, marked my debut as Director.

Attracted to deep stories with troubled characters, I directed and produced thrillers and dramas like The Boy Who Became King, Classified, Fighter’s Chance(shooting it 3D native), Siempre Seras, 5IVE , Because I Want To, which have earned international and domestic recognition through various festival awards.

My feature credits as director include: Lost Tape,Savage Girls, Wavy, Predators of the Deep: The Hunt for the Lost Four, produced at Blackgold Media Partners, The Long Way, produced by Jordan Escoto, Slammed! produced at Red Pictures Media and distributed in the US by ITN, Angels on Tap, produced at HOPE Entertainment and released by IndieRights.

My credits as producer include: Jupiter Jones, produced for AllBlk by New Kingdom Pictures, Premeditated, Riding on Faith, Momma Said Come Home For Christmas, King of the Castle, produced by Blackgold Media Partners and released on BET+, Passionate Betrayals, A New Kind of Woman, After Party Secrets, In The Shadows, produced by Blackgold Media Partners and released on FUBU, A House Divided, produced for UMC by New Kingdom Pictures.

Together with Terry Loveday, from Haymarket Films UK, we set up That Film Festival, a competition with four showcases in Berlin, Cannes, Los Angeles and Marbella. The prize is £250,000 in production finance to the winning filmmaker.

Aside from the film business, I am a Tony Robbins trainer and I have volunteered in Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe with various organisations and charities.
